The Mongol Rally is an annual event in which participants drive over 10,000 miles from London, England to Ulaan Baatar, Mongolia to raise money for charities benefiting children in Mongolia. The route is not set.  The teams are on their own. The cars are small! The Mongol Rally is a great adventure for a great cause.  Each team raises at least $2000 directly for the charities and also donates their vehicle for auction when they arrive.  The primary charity supported by the Mongol Rally is Mercy Corps which funds wide ranging projects. With the hundreds of thousands of dollars raised each year, they set up schools, build children’s playgrounds, establish youth centers and help women find employment opportunities.

The RoamGreen team, Baatar Hero, will undertake this journey in  small, fuel efficient vehicles to promote sustainable travel.  In addition to donating the vehicle, all our camping gear and equipment acquired for the trip will be donated to sustainable travel operators in Mongolia to foster a responsible tourism industry.  This will help future generations in Mongolia by contributing to a successful, locally owned and operated sustainable economy. The entire journey will be filmed and video blogged for you to follow in as nearly real time as possible as we document the trip itself, the environment of the places we visit, and the actions we take to reduce our impact while experiencing the cultures we interact with along the way.

Please join us on this awesome adventure!
